Call this template when you want to draw an image of a keyboard button.

Parameters

top_char, bot_char: The top and bottom characters which should appear on the button.
scale: A percentage, default value of 100. At 100, the button will be 95x95 px.
top_scale, bot_scale: The font size of the top and bottom characters, as a scaling factor for the default font size of 150%. The font size will automatically scale with the use of scale, but you will find that certain characters need to have their scaling fine-tuned to look good on the button. These parameters will add a further multiplier to the scale multiplier, e.g. setting bot_scale to 133 on a 50%-scale button will raise the font size from 75% (150 * 0.5) to 100% (150 * 0.5 * 1.33).

Sample usage

{{KeyboardButton|top_char=§|bot_char=½}}
yields:
Template:KeyboardButton

{{KeyboardButton|top_char=~|top_scale=117|bot_char=`|bot_scale=133}}
yields:
Template:KeyboardButton vs. how it would look without the special scaling for each character:
Template:KeyboardButton

The same button at 50% scale:
{{KeyboardButton|scale=50|top_char=~|top_scale=117|bot_char=`|bot_scale=133}}
yields:
Template:KeyboardButton
